Tyrell Long Earns PSAC East Athlete of the Week
LOCK HAVEN, Pa. - Sr., G Tyrell Long (Philadelphia, Pa./Bishop McDevitt) registered his second honor of the season this week by being named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Athlete of the Week, which was announced by that same organization this afternoon. Long continues to impress as he poured in a game-high 27 points, 13 boards, and a pair of blocks to help West Chester open the 2017 campaign on a five-game winning streak. His contributions helped down visiting Wilmington University on Saturday, 78-61, to go to 5-0 on the season. The senior added six assists as well, matching teammate Matt Penecale for the team lead in the game. This marks the first double-double of the season for Long. He leads the squad by averaging 20.6 points per game, while also averaging 7.6 boards and 3.4 assists. West Chester opens up Hollinger Field House this weekend with renovations being completed. On Saturday, the Golden Rams face IUP (Pa.) and finish out the weekend the day against Seton Hill. Both are set for a 3 p.m. tipoff. Award Winners
